Become a Villager and start dreaming in another language

Bringing language to life

Why? Because Kwan tackles challenges John would never dream of…

Our nametags are more than just fun. They help villagers push themselves in ways they might not try at home or school and open up a world of possibilities.

How? By making it real.

Coming to the Language Villages for a summer language immersion program is just like entering a new country. You’ll get your Village passport stamped at customs, receive your cabin assignment, and help us determine your language proficiency (don’t worry—no experience required!). We’ll also exchange any spending money you want to use at the gift shop during your stay, so you can practice language skills on real purchases.

Learn withoutdistraction.

At the Villages, we check cell phones and other personal electronic devices at the door. Instead, we focus on fully engaging with the language in our cultural settings and the natural outdoor environment.

Live the Language

Participate in a tea ceremony. Learn what fútbol is like on the other side of the world. Paddle the route of the French-Canadian fur traders from hundreds of years ago.

We don’t separate life and language instruction. From the moment you arrive, counselors and instructors in our summer language immersion programs speak and play only in your chosen language, just as if you were learning from the inside of the country itself.
